Free agent goalie Jack Campbell is signing a five-year contract with the Edmonton Oilers, TSN reports, just after the team announced it had re-signed forward Evander Kane.
Darren Dreger reports the former Toronto Maple Leafs goalie will make an average of $5 million per season.
The evening before NHL free agency began, Evander Kane signed a four-year, $5.125 million per year extension with the Edmonton Oilers.
He posted the message to social media late Tuesday night: "I'm back."
"A big part of my decision to stay in Edmonton was because of the opportunity given to me only 7 months ago but also the chance to be apart [sic] of a championship team. I want to win, and I believe after signing this deal we will be able to add the right pieces along with myself to accomplish that goal, a championship," Kane, signing off with his jersey number, 91.
Kane signed with Edmonton in January after the San Jose Sharks terminated the remainder of his seven-year, $49-million contract for violating COVID-19 protocols while in the American Hockey League. Kane has challenged the Sharks’ decision by filing a grievance through the NHL Players’ Association.
Earlier last season, he was suspended by San Jose for 21 games for submitting a fake vaccine card.
